Global Professionals

A Stronger Denmark with Highly Skilled International Employees

Close to four out of ten Danish companies seek in vain for new employees and the shortage of labor is expected to increase over the coming years. Highly qualified foreign employees can help to ease the shortage of labor, but Denmark is in global competition when it comes to attracting and retaining global talents. DI Global Talent’s mission is to ensure that companies have access to highly qualified foreign labor and that Denmark is an attractive country for highly qualified foreign employees to live, work and study in.

WE WANT TO

Ease access for companies to skilled foreign labor with required competences and skills

Ensure that companies are able to retain global professionals in Denmark

Strengthen Denmark's position as an attractive country to live, work and study

"We are experiencing an increasing demand for hiring specialists, especially in our development department, which is critical for our international growth. Here, the local environment is currently inadequate - not only when it comes to the local community on Funen, but throughout all of Denmark. Therefore, we need to look beyond our country's borders to find the right employees for e.g. our available software engineering positions. Recently, we implemented a major recruitment effort in Southern and Eastern Europe" says Anette Dahl Christensen, VP HR, Universal Robots
